He likes the Bushes and you won't talk him out of it. As far as I know none of them are running for anything right now, so no biggie.
I liked GWB better than Gore.
Didn't you?
I liked GWB better than Kerry.
Didn't you?
I would prefer Jeb over Hillary.
Wouldn't you?
In fact, I'd prefer just about anyone, including Pennywise the Dancing Clown, over Hillary, but I will not vote for Trump.
Why did I support Jeb?
As Governor of my State...
He led the fight for school choice and broke the teachers union hold in Florida with the first-in-the-nation school choice program.
He cut nearly $20 billion in taxes and reduced the size of the State government by 10%. He privatized foster care, adoption services, legal representation for death row prisoners, human resources, state purchasing, and state parks. Altogether, he moved 13,000 positions off of the state payroll — more than 10 percent of the government in Florida.
He banned late term abortions, championed and passed the "Parental Notification Act" mandating doctors to notify parents of a minor at least 48 hours before terminating a pregnancy.
He ended Affirmative Action in government contracts and college admissions in the State.
He championed and signed the nation's first "stand your ground" law and received top ratings from the NRA.
He cut taxes in Florida more times than any other Governor, including first a reduction and then a repeal of the state's tax on personal assets such as investments, a rollback of a school property tax, a bigger property tax break for veterans, and a property tax exemption for childcare facilities. Jeb cut taxes every year that he was a Governor.
He further reduced government by moving Medicaid recipients to private managed-care plans, which also reduced the costs to taxpayers.
He signed into law the State's first school voucher program, allowing parents to take their kids out of failing schools.
He ended Affirmative Action for State workers, contractors and college admissions.
I'll leave out his record regarding the State's economy because arguable, every State was doing fairly well at the time.
So Jeb was a staunchly pro-life, solidly pro 2A, tax-cutting, government-reducing, deadly enemy of unions and Affirmative Action Governor, but people question the validity of my support for him.
My question is why would anyone NOT support him over Trump?
because of his last name?
Not supporting a highly qualified candidate with a solid track record because of their last name makes as much sense as supporting a completely unqualified one because of his skin color, or an unconvicted felon because of her gender.
